Summary

ForceBridge is a cross-chain bridge operated by Magickbase on the Nervos Network (CKB), enabling transfers between Nervos and Ethereum and BNB Chain. On June 2, 2025, the bridge was exploited via an access control vulnerability — likely a compromised private key — resulting in approximately $3.7–3.9 million in user funds being stolen and laundered through Tornado Cash. The exploit occurred just one day after Magickbase announced the bridge's sunset, raising questions about the timing and origin of the attack.
